One of the challenges facing James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball at Yale, for the upcoming season is replacing Alex Zampier, who graduated as one of the most prolific scorers in recent memory. Fortunately Jones will welcome a strong recruiting class full of scorers to New Haven this fall to help fill that void. Will Bartlett (New York, N.Y.), Jesse Pritchard (Ames, IA), Isaiah Salafia (Cromwell, CT), Greg Kelley (Newton, MA) and Jeremiah Kreisberg (Berkeley, CA) all scored at least 1,000 points in their high school careers.Thu, 01 Jul 2010 04:00:00 GMThttp://yalebulldogs.com/sports/m-baskbl/2009-10/releases/20100701u7wcr02010-07-01T04:00:00ZZampier Named To Connecticut 6 First Teamhttp://yalebulldogs.com/sports/m-baskbl/2009-10/releases/20100429qx70lk
Alex Zampier put on quite a show in the augural Connecticut 6 Classic in November. He scored 35 points in the game against Sacred Heart, the most by a Yale player since 1983. That performance was the start of an outstanding senior season for Zampier, who led the Bulldogs in scoring (17.4 ppg.), three-pointers (55), steals (59) and free throw percentage (.858). Wednesday he received another accolade for those accomplishments by being named to the Connecticut 6 first team.Thu, 29 Apr 2010 04:00:00 GMThttp://yalebulldogs.com/sports/m-baskbl/2009-10/releases/20100429qx70lk2010-04-29T04:00:00ZSands Elected 2010-11 Captainhttp://yalebulldogs.com/sports/m-baskbl/2009-10/releases/201004289acz2k
Michael Sands was one of the most improved players in the Ivy League this season. After appearing in 24 games off the bench as a sophomore, Sands was the only player to start all 31 games.
